Chrome paint??, what have youused, what works?? Options

[mandrek]

title says it all.. i picked up a can of the rustolium tough stuff, chrome enamel paint from advanced auto parts. i did a test spray on bear metal, and on black primer.. (other then a gritty ness on the black primer since i did not sand it to smooth it down after primer) the paint did not come out at all like chrome.. it was sprayed in favorable conditions and low humidity... I'm gonna try giving it a quick buff w/ the dremml (obviously i would us a much larger device on my project# to see if i can get it to shine through like the cap/ like real chrome...

i did a search, in this forum, and seen allot of mention of people "spraying chrome" but not a mention of what brand/ or end results of the spray?

this is in preparation for my rims.. I'm going to do a "black chrome" on 7th gen rims for my DD.. (on a black car) I'm simply looking for a shiny chrome paint that wont be too much of a hassle to pray on these rims, so i can get a good base down for the next phase of the project.. we that an it looks like i need to redo my headlights, so i need some good, highly reflective chrome paint, to use on the inside of the housings.. once i get a good base, i will be using the "black chrome kit" from advanced.. two part kit w/ smoking spray #the black translucent smoke spray# and a finish spray. this is a kit designed for use on rims, so I'm not too worried about durability..

any help and feed back would be greatly appreciated... pix of your projects w/ the finished results and any additional steps need to be taken #if necessary# would be even better!!

thank you in advanced..

wow thats nice.. yeah bu a bit too over the top for what i was looking to do.. all a realy needed was agood "chrome" base coat on my 7thgen rims to use the "black chrome" kit from advance on... if i were to actualy do a true balck chrome , i would not do it to some 7th gen rims.. but some nice light wheigh cruzing rims.. somthing worth putting the extra $$ into to make real nice.. currently i have them painted black and a metalic grey/gun metal (never finnished the project.. so i want to somthing diffrent with them.. i WAS also looking at this to take care of some headlights that had started to leek real bad, but im going a diffrent direction now..
